In 2026, he signed for Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of €50 million.
Torres has represented Spain internationally at various youth levels, and made his debut for the senior team in 2020. He was chosen in Spain's squads for two FIFA World Cups (2022 and 2026), two UEFA European Championships (2020 and 2024), winning the 2024 tournament and scoring the sole goal in the 2026 World Cup final.
Club career
Valencia
Born in Foios, Valencian Community, Torres joined Valencia CF's youth setup in 2006, aged six. On 15 October 2016, while still a junior, he made his senior debut with the reserve team by coming on as a substitute for Grego in a 2–0 Segunda División B home loss against Mallorca B.
Torres was promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2017–18 campaign, and scored his first senior goal on 26 August 2017 by netting his team's second in a 4–1 home win over Peralada-Girona B. On 5 October, after being strongly linked to Barcelona and Real Madrid, he renewed his contract, which increased his release clause to €25 million.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ferran Torres” as spanish footballer (born 2000). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as spanish footballer (born 2000). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q44297797. VIAF identifies the subject as 5600172126414003340003. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000, 2017, 2020 and 2022.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
